Candlelight Vigil at Pechanga Casino a Success

On a brisk Saturday evening at the Pechanga Resort and Casino, over 125 people demonstrated by candlelight, peacefully for equality and justice in Indian Country.

Many tribes were represented, including the Creek Freedmen, San Pascual, Picayune Rancheria, Santa Rosa. The Pechanga peope who are caught up in Pechanga's illegal/unconstitutional moratorium as well as those who were disenrolled we also there.

A French documentarian was interviewing demonstrators for an film expected to be released in April.

Full details, will follow. CLICK on images to enlarge. You will also notice I made a correction on the photo at right. I mistakenly label Mr. Allen Mitchell of the Creek Freedmen as Allen Lawson, the dastardly person from San Pascual. My apologies Allen
